Marusya Kolotnya lives in a provincial town, works for social services, and dreams of creating a shelter for victims of domestic violence. Those around her constantly take advantage of her kindness—her colleagues, her common-law husband, and her own gambling-addicted mother, who often gets into debt. One day, debt collectors threaten to take away Marusya’s family apartment, and she has to urgently find a way to earn a lot of money. Desperate, she goes to an underground brothel, where she is offered the chance to fill in for the dominatrix Julia. The new job frightens Marusya, but she soon realizes that the establishment’s services are used by the most influential people in town. Gradually, the quiet young woman, forced to lead a double life, gains inner freedom and self-confidence. To find out how her story unfolds, watch “Mistress” online on ivi.
